Charlie Cox to Recur on Boardwalk Empire

Charlie Cox is joining the cast of Boardwalk Empire at the right time.

Fresh off Golden Globe and SAG Award victories, the HBO drama will add this British actor in a recurring role on season two.

Not much is known about the character Cox will portray, but look for him as a dangerous immigrant from Northern Ireland with possible ties to the IRA. The role will mark the actor's first extended run on American television.

Don't forget that Charlie Cox has a lead role in the Roland Joffe movie "There Be Dragons" which hits the theaters in May 2011. He plays a young Josemaria Escriva, a Spanish priest (and future saint) and the founder of Opus Dei. I saw the trailer and I think it's really going to be a great movie.
